I liked reading Susan Wolf's writings but God she is a terrible conversationalist. I needed my body weight in expressos to stay following this interview and the interviewer looked like he was falling asleep while his guest waffled

Fantastic conversation that deserves better sound quality.

What a treat. Fantastic upload , thanks so much for posting.

Something really dewish about this guy - can just imagine him doing pelvic thrusts reading the talmud.

Oh yes honey, just throw money at it or give me a pill- for anything and everything idgaf anymore

thanks for this

✨Merci!🍀

Nice one

He was so smart that he saw the flaw in the so-called "centrist trend." Idiots usually drum up support for the one-eyed centrist trend. Thanks for having him on your channel. We need to have more discussion at this level with him and others.

Have Muslims who call themselves ethnic "Arabs", even if all the genetic studies show these countries in the Maghreb and the Levant have barely if any Arab DNA, ever made peace with their brutal colonialism and slave trade? Or do they celebrate it and continue to call for similar fates in the modern world with chants like "Khaybar, Khayar"? You've said in past talks that you refuse to let the "woke" or extreme left take the left away from you. I understand, but I respectfully disagree, and wonder if it rather has something to do with the ego (as some researcher have discovered regarding left-wing authoritarianism). I think it is shortsided to think that the left has some definitional monopoly on equality and progress. Since I've left the left, I've held so many great discussions with those on the dreaded right who are much more tolerant and wish for the progress and prosperity for all humanity, while understand the realities of national boundaries. I'm a scientist not a philosopher, but this is actually not even new in philosophical literature, as you must already have read Camus' take on the left in "The Artist and His Time". I think it's time for those who study moral and political philosophies to reassess childish dialectics and tropes of left and right, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the ummah and the kuffar.

To the author's point, the centering of Germany's historical narrative around the Holocaust as the gold standard for "evil" has had the effect of elevating Jewish suffering at the cost of obscuring other historical injustices that exist in the negative spaces of that elevation which bleed into the present: 1833 -1914: Germans host the Berlin Conference where the "Scramble for Africa" took place and thus begun the brutal colonization of Africa. 1899: Rwanda becomes a German colony, ethnic divisions and the Hamite myth that lay the foundation for the 1994 genocide are installed through the practice of eugenics (German colonists would steal human remains and use skull measurements to manufacture racial classification) 1904 - 1908: Germans commit genocide of the Herero and Nama people in Namibia. 1941 - 1945: 6 million people (comprising of European Jews, Roma and Sinti people, non-Jewish Poles, Black people, gay males, person with disabilities, persons with mental illness, Soviet Prisoners of war) are executed in the Holocaust. Also, Germany in 2024: Germany supports Israel in ICJ proceedings, rejects allegations that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza, while continuing to supply Israel with arms and therefore being complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. I will acknowledge that Germany was the country that absorbed a significant amount of Syrian refugees, but one could also argue that is wasn't altruism per se but an aging population and an shrinking economy that necessitated the need for youthful bodies to continue production. While I am sure if made a significant difference in the lives of those escaping the Syrian civil war, Germany still has some soul-searching left to do in order to address what appears to be persistent pattern of genocidal propensities.

(rough timestamp 1h12min-1h14min) What if there's an expectation of incongruity between the actors (in the end while talking to another we always have at least a vague un conscious sense of difference and a tension albeit small from it) and this is met by the presentation of congruity/harmony specific to their shared cultural/physical/personal environment? Wouldn't this expectation of incongruity which is met with congruity be an incongruity resulting in a cognitive evaluation of the situation as being humourous?

Excellent interview. Both of you were great. Such a great idea to interview Jarius Victor Grove as he is such a brilliant, young, radically progressive, political theorist.

Difficult to follow due to obscurantist language and distracting musical noise.

Contradictory. Nietzsche was aboht the individual while Marx was aboht soen garbage Gnosticism that people till now think its a genius to cover up their weak morality

For Zizek, I would argue, the Palestinian cause is the singular universal, as the proletariat is for Marxism. The concrete universal is the totality, which in our case today is capitalism. No particular can occupy the concrete universal. Each particular is an abstract universal. In Hegel the distinction is defined as self and other. The self is the whole, the totality. Each particular is a part of the self-whole but the whole is not the sum of its parts. It's in this sense that Zizek thinks that Lacan's theory of sexuation can also be applied to philosophy. So the "becoming black of the world" (Mbembe) is hard to imagine outside of something like black neoliberalism since blackness has no political content per se. The book on this is Walter Benn Michaels, The Shape of the Signifier. There is a difference between feudal colonization and capitalist colonization, for example, as discussed by Ellen Meiksins Wood in The Origin of Capitalism. Race metaphysics is not a good direction for socialist internationalist politics, as discussed by the work of for example Adolph Reed and Barbara and Karen Fields.

Mais um lixo revestido de academico.

great conversation. thanks

In the age of Ai and automation how is the Marxist condition of social interrelationships to be destroyed if productivity as a precipice is negated?

What a weak man. Unable to master his own will (to power) he like many other philosophers retort to their intellectual justification for mind over matter. Mind over action.

Türkçe altyazı, çeviri rica ediyorum, lütfen bu konuda duyarlılık gösteriniz, teşekkürler 🍀🙋🏻‍♀️

fucking brilliant thank you

We need his book on Marx right now!!!!

One of the last few interesting contemporary philosophers in continental thinking

How anyone can be a Marxist is beyond me. Admission to this club is denying the terrible history of what happens when Marxist delusions confronts reality. There is no such thing as surplus labor..., and without that, there is no workers' paradise, just a dystopia suitable for robots and slaves.

Could you provide the spelling of the author you mention at 1:46, and is the essay called The Concept of Irony? Would love to read it. Thank you for sharing this video.

Can't wait for the book!

brilliant man. he helped me with my excursion into phenomenology via email once.

“[T]he mob is the most ruthless of tyrants;” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx refuted in 8 words. "I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous - a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite. Ecce Homo (1888). Why I am a Destiny", Friedrich Nietzsche Trying to put lipstick on a pig, or in this case feral hogs when the name of the philosopher for tyrants, Marx is brought into the discussion. Do these so called philosophers at Ivy League Universities ever consider the human suffering that has arisen from the pages of this plagiarist ghoul, and monster of a degenerate, Karl Marx? Will humanity ever outgrow this infantile demented philosophy that has resulted in the sufferings of millions upon millions. The hollow men prison tyrants in the Davos Crowd of the WEF even use the fig leaf of Marxist propaganda to cover up their power plays. Some background on Marx's not so original philosophy as discussed in a prominent amazon book review on Marx: "....Yet again Karl Marx is portrayed as the father of Communism and the friend of the Working Class yet he was neither! The 1848 Communist Manifesto was nothing short of a direct copy of an earlier book written by the long forgotten French Socialist Victor Considerant in 1843, and given a second edition in 1847 in Paris and entitled "Principles of Socialism : Manifesto of the Democracy of the Nineteenth Century". Not only did Marx and Engels "discover" their "manifesto" in Mr.Considerants "manifesto" but they also copied the form and titles of the chapters as well. The only completely new part of "their" manifesto was found on the title page where they claimed to be the original authors" Nietzsche soared far above these pirate grifter Marxists in his tour de force Will to Power. The will to power shows the real focus of Marxism that Karl conveniently sidestepped in his drunken tirades against humanity. Marx, just an utter lout and a philosophical plagiarist that is today only pushed by the leftists radicals that have polluted the once esteemed Ivy League schools and Oxford/Cambridge. Dogs now have more class and dignity than the deranged "hollow men" Marxists tyrannizing the halls of philosophy at these 'elite???universities", especially around mask time of Halloween. Nietzsche admired aristocratic bearing and noble refined tastes. By contrast, Marx had the tastes of a chain smoking, pool hall hustler grifter and the character ethos of devious Captain Morgan. "Now I bid you lose me and find yourselves; and only when ye have all denied me will I come back unto you." Friedrich Nietzsche. Will to power has sent that feral hog of a lout, Marx, into the dustbin of history. Time will reveal all about the differences between the Nietzschean Mt. Everest Summit top climbers, and those Marxian's wallowing in caves of darkness at base camp. All the time while watching the flicker of light and "materialistic, capitalistic" shadows from their base camp cave, these resentful, sinister Marxist "Ivy League philosophy instructors" are berating those "ambitious, bourgeois" climbers out on the vast horizons and leading edge of Nietzschean intellectual dynamism and "power." Ralph Waldo Emerson observed a man can only see what he is prepared to see. Marxists need to come out of the prison of their own making in their dark, dank oppressive interpretation of how to "improve the state" that has resulted in the most horrific of suffering for mankind. Fascinating video presentation and production. New US subscriber

And of course, culture and education in schools play an important role.

In this short time, resentment can be explained both socially and politically. It is an interesting topic.

Thank you for this good interview👍

It was interesting🙏🏻🍀

That was great

Thank you for uploading the full interview. A Christmas treat.

can you upload the full video?

Regrettably in French.

when will the talk with ray brassier be uploaded?

Pa un mot sur le massacre de civils par le Hamas pas un mot sur l’exécution de gays par le Hamas pas un mot sur les otages ou sur l’utilisation de sa propre population comme bouclier humain pas un mot sur l’exécution par le Hamas de civils qui essaient de fuir la zone de bombardement voila qui illustre bien mieux son propos 😂

Absence of meaning leading to thinking about meaning. Describes me.

Please upload the full video.

Where is the whole thing? It is annoying to navigate short clips.

Made me think back to michel clouscard and his "critique du libéralisme libertaire". Thanks a lot for that!😅

This format is a very good Idea, fits the platform and the changing uses of YT

What an absolute delight this was to watch. Whatever gets more people to stand in solidarity with the hurting and the marginalised is what our world really needs! ❤

You two don't know anything about meaning. You are part of the pandemic cult and endorse crimes against humanity

It's a pity Dr. Tomsic doesn't speak more often in English, as he is the most eloquent and precise of the Slovene philosophers I have so far heard. His English is indeed superb.

i read his book, what a lefty cheerleader
